Dear Abby: Wife withdraws from life she's built over decades.

Husband's wife left him after 28 years to "find herself," claiming she doesn't want a divorce but needs time and space to work on herself. However, she refuses to talk, text or contact her husband. The husband, "Lonely in the East," asks how he and his wife can work on their marriage with no contact. Abby advises that the wife cannot have it both ways, nor does she seem open to repairing the marriage. She suggests asking the wife if she is interested in counseling and, if not, getting a referral to a therapist for the husband's emotional support.
